I agree with Mike.  However, wouldn't it be appropiate to create a newsgroup
for all symbolic math packages (mathematica, maple, macsyma)?  I don't know
if there's enough traffic to warrant two or three groups and maple/macsyma 
discussion is likely to end up there anyway.  If the group becomes too
congested, we can split it up later.
